Have you thought about putting a skid under your OBA tanks? I think I've seen a few people do that.

I love your photo documentation! Looks awesome and very meticulous. I'm quite impressed. :)
Did you make your interior rack/storage organiser or order/buy it somewhere?

I have the dimensions for the OBA tank skid plate that I want. I have to verify everything then cad it up and send it to a local fab shop so they can bend it. I did not really need it untill i added that second air tank. It hangs down a little and is close to the bumper.

I made the rack but bought the drawer. I'm still working on it trying to make it stiffer and more durable but keep it remotely light weight. Its been a challenge and fun at the same time. I need to reinforce it before my next trip. right now its just riveted together as I modify it. Next step is to get it welded up.

Dude, that on board air setup is awesome! I wish I could have something like that but I'd be to afraid I'd trash it going through sloppy crap.

I have gone though quite a bit of mud. More then I would like to admit. The intakes for the air compresses go up to the tail lights just like the diff breather mod. I have one per side. This is also why I went with a cheap air compressor so if one breaks big deal have a backup and pretty easy to replace.

I have a radiator skid on the way. I din't want to order it before the bumper and possibly throw away money. I ordered the shrock one. So I'm guessing 3-6 years before it gets here, that way I will be happy when it arives.

You should have it fixed? I'm going to try my hardest to be up there for NXM, I might try to do a mid summer trip but my schedule just got crazy with weddings and work projects so we will see.

I'm going to have to burn up vacation time on weddings. Gotta go since I'm in them. No I'm not the one getting married. But going to try my hardest.

^^^ I will be sure to tell any future dates this on the first date. "See there is this little thing, I'm not looking at buying no cow. So just give up your milk for free!!" For some reason I think it would be over at the end of the first sentence.

I actually did a mini experiment with this. When your done dating a chick or know its not going to work out. If she ever says "I love that your honost" or something like this start telling them everything. Or instead of staying on a crappy/horrible date. I have no problem getting up paying for my meal and leaving alone.

Took off my bumper for some welding. Touched up trim on fender. Trimmed some bolts to prevent winch cable from catching on it. Going to do touch up painting on everything.
